To think that a potty in any room besides the bathroom is gross?

[concernedforthefuture]

With the exception of the very early days of potty training (i.e the first couple of weeks when you get zero warning that they need it now ), AIBU to think that it's gross and unnecessary to have potties in living rooms / kitchens / bedrooms ?
Surely once your child is trained, they can hold it long enough to walk to the bathroom to use the potty ? It never occurred to me to have one anywhere else in the house besides alongside the loo when my DC trained, but having recently visited several friends and family with toddlers (who have been trained for months), it seems it's now the norm to have your small child do their toilet in the family rooms. Even worse, the parents don't rush to empty it either . (I can see that if you're busy feeding a newborn it might be easier for the toddler to use the potty nearby, but none of these families had small babies).

Ugh, autocorrect always thinks every ‘were’ should be ‘we’re’.

Funnily enough he is now 10 and has been using the toiled indecently for 7 years so no harm done.

Best thread autocorrect of the day!
